SENDING: mydout => /tmp/mydout => //mydout
and the file is sent to remotehost:/mydout. How can I make the

Let's assume the remote Kermit program is a fairly modern one
(it would be easier for us to answer your questions if you included
information like this). Then you would tell the receiving Kermit
to SET RECEIVE PATHNAMES ABSOLUTE. Read about this command here:

or type "help set receive" at the C-Kermit> or K-95> prompt.

Alternatively you could start the remote Kermit in server mode and then
tell the client to:

remote cd /tmp
send \%1
finish ; (or bye)
